2010 GMC Yukon XL Questions & Answers
Short in electrical system?
when the radio is OFF sound comes out of the rear speakers when the blinkers are used ! There isn't a turn signal flasher on your vehicle ,( like most all newer vehicles ) It's done electroniclly by a control module . In the case of your vehicle , the BCM - body control module . It doesn't matter if the radio is off . All the Audible warnings come out of the radio speakers . Headlamps left on , key in ignition etc... You have no idea of the complexity of your vehicle , it's a rolling computer , with a serial data network for the modules to talk to each other , share info.
When the turn signal switch is placed in either the left or right position, a ground signal is completed from the turn signal switch to the BCM. When the hazard flasher switch is activated, a ground signal is completed from the turn signal/hazard switch to the BCM. The BCM then sends an ON-OFF voltage signal through the fuses to the appropriate turn signal and side repeater (export only) lamps or to all of the turn signal fuses for hazard operation.
Really don't think you have electrical short . Computer glitch maybe , radio problem . How ever , these system's are not for the untrained to mess with . Your best bet , the GMC dealer !

Both are possible but from your description it sounds like the truck is in limp home mode. You need to put a scanner on it and see if any codes are set. Then repair the code and reset it then see what happens.

You might want to try back flushing the heater core.This is probably your problem.If you know where the heater hoses go into the back wall of the engine compartment then feel the hoses.They should both be hot to the touch with the engine at operating temperature.If one is hot and the other you can hold your hand on it all day.Then try flushing the heater core.If it warms up some or gets any better.Then this is your problem.Hope this helps.Good luck.

That is a major code and may require repairs right away.Your transmission is slipping.
check your transmission fluid. tjhe fluid should be clear and free of grit. you can also smell it. if it smells burnt or it's gritty you need to get to a mechanic. If the fluid seems fine, you can try flushing it, clearing the code and monitor it for a bit and see if the code comes back on. if it you have a problem and will need to get some work done on the transmission.
The longer you drive with this kind of issue the more expensive it will be to fix the transmission before it completely fails and you ruin your transmission and possibly your engine
if your mechanically inclined and have the tools i'd say get to work and pull your transmission and do an overhaul. this will save you half a grand in labor.
otherwise start calling around and find out the cheapest repair show that will do a rebuild and replace the parts that have burnt out. let them know of any signs you have had that your transmission has been going out. such as grinding of the gears while shifting, etc
good luck.
